ZFS send | recv combined with snapshots
The code below is what I use to churn a dataset when experimenting with special vdevs and metadata size
It does a snapshot, sends that snapshot to a new dataset. Then repeats this in case of changes as the first may have taken a while.
Then the old dataset is destroyed and the new dataset is renamed to the old dataset. You don't need all of that but you should be able to work out what you need from the above
